🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Failed to load Pages: No access token found"

Solution:

1. Reconnect your Facebook account in credentials
2. Ensure your Facebook app is active
3. Check app ID and secret are correct

"No Pages found"

Solution:

1. Ensure you have admin/editor access to at least one Facebook Page
2. Check your Facebook app has pages_show_list permission
3. Try reconnecting your Facebook account

"Image URL not accessible"

Solution:

1. Ensure the image URL is publicly accessible

4. Maximum file size is 100MB

"Authentication failed"

Solution:

1. Check App ID and Secret:

   • Verify you copied the correct App ID (not App Name)
   • Ensure App Secret is copied completely (click "Show" first)
   • No extra spaces or characters

2. Check OAuth Redirect URI:

   • Must match exactly: https://your-n8n-domain.com/rest/oauth2-credential/callback
   • For localhost: http://localhost:5678/rest/oauth2-credential/callback
   • No trailing slashes or extra characters

3. Check App Status:

   • App must be in Development or Live mode
   • If in Development: Only you can use it
   • If Live: Requires App Review approval

4. Check Permissions:

   • Ensure all required permissions are added
   • Grant permissions during Facebook authorization
   • Check if permissions were revoked in Facebook settings

"App ID or App Secret is invalid"

Solution:

1. Double-check credentials:

   • Go to Facebook Developer Console → App Settings → Basic
   • Copy App ID exactly (numbers only)

2. Add to Facebook App:

   • Facebook Login → Settings → Valid OAuth Redirect URIs
   • Add the exact URL (case-sensitive)
   • Save changes

"Rate limit exceeded"

Solution:

Image Upload Issues

The package includes a 3-tier fallback system for image uploads:

1. Direct URL Method - Fastest for public images
